Nottingham Forest v Luton

Nottingham Forest vs Luton Preview

Another Premier League team taking on Championship opposition is Nottingham Forest who will play host to Luton Town at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon with the hosts no doubt brimming with confidence following their recent comprehensive 3-0 win away from home at Wolves at Molineux which also became a sixth Premier League win on the trot.

Luton Town by contrast slipped to a fourth defeat on the trot in the Championship when The Hatters suffered a dismal 2-1 loss away from home at local rivals QPR in the English second tier and the prospect of facing high-flying Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this Saturday is unlikely to be approached with much relish.

Nottingham Forest will therefore be seeking to complete a seventh victory on the trot on Saturday afternoon having captured notable wins recently in the Premier League against Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham, while the bigger picture shows the Tricky Trees have been handed just three defeats in their last 14 games overall.

Defeats at the hands of Newcastle United 3-1, Arsenal 3-0 and Manchester City 3-0 respectively have been outweighed by Forest's knack for picking up no fewer than 10 wins within this period which has helped lift the east midlands hosts up into third spot in the Premier League table.

Goals look set to feature as well, as six out of Nottingham Forest's last 10 games have produced three goals or more.

Luton Town may well be fearing the worst as they prepare for this tough looking away trip to the City Ground to take on an impressive Nottingham Forest outfit who have built winning momentum in the top flight.

To make matters worse, Luton Town have lost each of their last four games overall in the Championship which consist of defeats at the hands of Bristol City, Swansea City, Norwich City and QPR respectively, three of which have been inflicted upon Rob Edwards' side on their travels as well.

Wins have been hard to come by for Luton Town this season following relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season as The Hatters have managed to capture just two wins from their last 10 games overall, both being collected on home soil at Kenilworth Road and both by 2-1 margins against Derby County and Stoke City, whilst also slipping to seven defeats as well.

In addition, goals also look likely for this upcoming trip to the City Ground as six out of Luton Town's last 10 games in all competitions have produced three goals or more.
